[CONCERT] Neon Nation’s Spring Awakeing Schedule | A Plethora of Artist Spotlights
Editor’s Note: The Sights and Sounds is teaming up with Neon Nation to bring you artist spotlights from Chicago’s upcoming 2012 Spring Awakening Music Festival.
Guest Writer: Andrew Hayden
Here at Neon Nation we are super excited for the month of June and we know you are, too. Next weekend (June 9th) we are hosting a one of a kind birthday event at Frontier in West Town (1072 N. Milwaukee). The following weekend is Spring Awakening at Soldier Field. The month rounds out with Wavefront Music Festival on the shores of Montrose Beach.
With all this EDM on the horizon, we decided what better way to get amped up for Spring Awakening then to give you our top picks for the show and give you an ‘Artist Spotlight’ with our favorite tracks from each respective artist we plan on seeing. In addition to the spotlights, we have started a shared Spotify station titled ‘NN to SAMF.’ Help us out by adding your favorite tracks to the playlist. Check back later today for the first artist spotlight on Chicago’s own Krewella.

Disclaimer: This is obviously bias towards our opinions, so if you don’t agree feel free to make your impression felt below. There are a ton of great artists at SAMF, but these are the ones we personally feel we can’t miss.
A little Laidback Luke to get you in the mood.
